Cut a 12X12 piece of Orange card stock paper down to 11X11 and set the paper aside.

On the 10X10 piece of card stock, ink the Leafy Border Molding Mat using ColorBox Stephanie Barnard Spearmint Dye Ink and stamp on the cardstock.

When dry, stamp and emboss leaves using Top Boss Verdigris Embossing Powder randomly over the entire piece of card stock.

Tape the 6X6 Crafters Workshop Balzer Design Mini Tri Mosaic stencil down over the left upper corner of the 10X10 piece of cardstock. Using the ColorBox Stylus Circle Tip, place Top Boss Watermark Embossing Ink to the collage's surface. Apply the ink using a gentle pounding motion, holding the Stylus straight up and down. Do not use a stroking motion. This motion will keep the ink from seeping under the edges of the stencil. If your stencil seems to be lifting as you ink, use an awl or chopstick to hold the stencil down as you apply ink. Repeat this process on the lower right corner of the 10X10 piece of card stock.

Tap the Stylus Tips blending tool on the Colorbox Stephanie Barnard Dye Ink Pad to pick up a small amount of ink. Now using the Stylus Tips blending tool, blend the Dye ink into the paper. Make sure you blend the embossed area with more pressure to apply more ink around the heat embossed area created in the last step. This will create a stark contrast between the embossed area, which will resist the Dye Ink, and the inked area of the page.

Aggressively run a paper distressing tool over the edges of the 10X10 page. Once the edges have been distressed with the tool, ink the edges with Chianti Colorbox Pigment Ink Brush Pad.

Glue the 10X10 card stock onto the 11X11 orange card stock.

Aggressively run a paper distressing tool over the edges of the 11X11 page. Once the edges have been distressed with the tool, ink the edges with Chianti Colorbox Pigment Ink Brush Pad.

Cut a 5"X4" piece orange coordinating paper. Stamp the Stylus Leafy Border Molding Mat with Top Boss Watermark ink vertically down the paper. Sprinkle the image with Top Boss Verdigris Embossing Powder and emboss powder. Adhere the the paper to the 10X10 page.

Place a double matte on the photo and adhere to the 10X10 card stock. Offset the matted photo on the page.

Place a piece of ribbon vertically on the piece you create above in the last step.

Cut a piece of 9"X1" tan card stock. Using a flourish stamp, stamp a horizontal border on the strip, using ColorBox Stephanie Barnard Tangerine Dye Ink.

Cut a 3 1/2X3 1/2 piece of orange cardstock. Adhere the piece you made above to the orange square. Adhere a yellow rhinestone to the left lower corner and upper right corner. Stamp a corner flourish and fussy cutout the image and adhere to the upper left corner of the photo.

About Me

I am Charlotte, AKA Suepup in the virtual world, born and raised in the heart of a small Appalachian town. I live with my husband, a Doberman Pincher, a Rottweiler and a Pharoah hound/Doberman mix. I am addicted to scrapbooking and crafting. I love experimenting and testing products.
As a child and even now, I love anything that is rusted, weathered and distressed. My work is inspired from my surroundings, products, nature and from my family’s oral history. A couple of years ago, one of my friends dared me to just scrapbook one page. Well I did, and now I am addicted. I love Distressed, Steampunk, Shabby Chic and Grunge style scrapbooking.

This is my personal blog, and I have worked hard designing the items displayed on this site. The images created on this site are for inspiration. Please do not copy or use images for publications, including contests, contest submissions, or any other individual or personal gain. Please do not link images without my prior consent.
